It's probably through a multiple selling of games. I beleive the first one came first, aftermass producing it, they may have changed the label to give it a diffrent look or so. I ampretty sure stuff like this had been done before with other games too.

I don't really see it that big a deal.

Why did Nintendo release the pixelly cartridge labels in the U.S. and a few other places?

Seriously, who wouldn't prefer bright, colorful, good looking labels over super enlarged sprites?

I wouldn't.
At the time, the pixel graphics on the NES was far superior than the ones on any other consoles at the time. It was good advertisement for the games visuals.

Seeing those pixels now just adds to the nostalgia.

Good point Zen. I know what you're talking about. The graphics were amazing for the time. Compared to...Pong. (lol)

I think in Germany we also have the pixel version, I don't know for sure, though. I don't have it myself.
The ones I see at eBay sometimes all have the pixel artworks.

All Duckhunt fans look here:

Germany is a strange case. It seems sometimes you got pixelated art there, and other times the drawn art, or even both.

But isn't that the same case in the Netherlands?
Don't Germany and Holland have the same versions? :?
